Owner report 11573705 · 2024-02-23 (February 23, 2024)

I purchased a new BMW i7 xDrive60 at the end of December 2023. There have been numerous software issues since I purchased the vehicle. Yesterday while driving at low speed, a car in front of me at a stop light slammed on brakes. I attempted to depress the brake but it was too late. My car collided with the vehicle in front. I did not initially see the driver ahead of me stop as I was looking to the side for oncoming traffic. All of the ADAS systems are activated in my vehicle and set to the most sensitive settings including the autonomous emerg…

Owner report 11595852 · 2024-06-22 (June 22, 2024)

Brand new car bought in Nov 2023. On February 12, 2024, this Recall Campaign No. 24V-104: Integrated Brake (IB) Module came out - albeit with no remedy. It is now Jun 22nd - 4 months later - and there is still no remedy. I am adversely affected in the following ways: - I have been unable to drive the defective vehicle for over 4 months now - I have been unable to purchase the vehicle out of the lease as they won't provide a payoff-quote with an open recall - I am unable to re-sell the vehicle with the open recall. 4 months is an unaccepta…

Owner report 11603388 · 2024-07-19 (July 19, 2024)

I have contacted the BMW dealership in Henderson several times about the recall and they do not have a fix from the BMW. I contacted BMW about the issue and filed a complaint with them to offer a solution of replacing the vehicle or return the vehicle for a buyout. I reported the problem to BMW on May 20, 2024 and the manufacture is not informing me of any update or responding to my request. The BMW i7 is unsafe to drive and on three occasions I have almost been involved in an accident because the vehicle is taking longer to stop and I have to…
